Chapter 1172: Chapter 1192: Where is Your Dignity as a Great Demon?_1

"How many City Lords like Qin Hao have surrendered?"

The Elder replied: "As I went along, I subdued thirteen of them, and others who didn’t want to yield were secretly killed by me. Their deaths were made to look like vengeance-seeking incidents to avoid exposure of our conspiracy."

"There are still many people like me, I think, and now at least two hundred cities have secretly sworn allegiance to our demon race..."

Two hundred cities!

Although the Wildlands are vast, the distance between each city is very long. Two hundred cities—this has already covered a vast area.

More importantly, their infiltration activities are still ongoing. If it hadn’t been for myself stumbling upon it today, the number would have rapidly increased.

The old man’s name is Xiang Sheng, in the Late Demon Stage, belonging to one of the members of the infiltration operation team. His position isn’t high, so he doesn’t know much more information.

"What about Nalan Wushuang?"

Lin Chen suddenly asked: "Has she gone back?"

"She has returned and is currently undergoing Closed Door Cultivation, it is said she’s attempting to break through to the Demon Stage."

Lin Chen curiously asked: "The Demon Ancestor had a conflict with her, didn’t he? Didn’t the Demon Ancestor deal with her?"

Xiang Sheng asked doubtfully: "Is there a conflict between the Demon Ancestor and the Holy Maiden?"

Lin Chen glanced at him, knowing that he was kept in the dark, and coldly laughed: "Your Demon Ancestor left so many conditions, eventually pointing to Nalan Wushuang to revive her. Wasn’t it just to seize the body of the Holy Maiden and live another life?"

Xiang Sheng’s eyes widened, and he asked in amazement: "Then the rumors that you kidnapped the Holy Maiden..."

Lin Chen replied: "I had secretly followed them. Naturally, I couldn’t let the Demon Ancestor successfully seize Nalan Wushuang’s body, so when Nalan Wushuang fainted, I made a move and brought Nalan Wushuang away. I fought with the Demon Ancestor in the Eternal Cemetery and destroyed her physical body. When the demon race searched for Nalan Wushuang from all directions, it should have been the Demon Ancestor who couldn’t wait to catch her and seize her..."

Xiang Sheng looked at Lin Chen in shock, disbelief written all over his face.

"The Demon Ancestor’s physical body was destroyed by you?"

Lin Chen coldly said: "Otherwise, if it wasn’t for the recognition of the Emperor’s Seal that I had just received, and my insufficient strength, her Primordial Spirit would have definitely not escaped, and there would have been no need for the things that happened afterwards."

Xiang Sheng was filled with regret in his heart.

If he had known about this earlier, he would have definitely run away the moment he saw Lin Chen. Not even the Demon Ancestor could escape Lin Chen’s hands, nearly leading to the Destruction of Yuan Soul—what did he count for?

He had been blinded by greed, thinking of killing Lin Chen and seizing the Emperor’s Seal, getting a great achievement...

Looking back, Lin Chen knew he was a powerful demon but still unhesitatingly revealed his identity as the Human Emperor. It wasn’t that he wanted to rely on this identity to seek help from others, but because he had absolute confidence in taking him down.

How could he have been so foolish!

With this thought, Xiang Sheng had completely given up the lucky mentality, and threw out his final and biggest show of sincerity.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to sign a Master-Servant Contract with you, serve you as my lord, and follow your orders. Just spare my life."

Lin Chen looked a bit surprised and laughed: "You are a noble demon, don’t you feel wronged? What about your demon dignity?"

Xiang Sheng sighed: "Amongst the many creatures in the Heaven and Earth, the Human Clan is the most suitable for cultivation. If our demon race wants to succeed in cultivation, we must put in more effort and experience more dangers before we can finally turn into human forms and start at the same point as the Human Cultivators."

"You are barely a few decades old, yet you already possess your current Strength. And me? I have already experienced one thousand eight hundred ten years. If one can live, who wants to die?"

"You are the Human Emperor. Your future will undoubtedly be glorious. Submitting to you isn’t really a humiliation, let alone the dignity of a demon."

Lin Chen stared at Xiang Sheng, and Xiang Sheng calmly looked back at Lin Chen. There was anticipation in his eyes, but the initial fear and anger were already gone.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "Fine, offer your True Soul, and I will spare your life."

Xiang Sheng’s eyes suddenly burst with joy, and he didn’t say anything else. He pulled out his True Soul right away.

Lin Chen signed the Master-Servant Contract with Xiang Sheng according to what his Senior Sister taught in the past. From then on, Xiang Sheng’s life was in Lin Chen’s hands. If Lin Chen wanted Xiang Sheng to die, it only took one thought.

He was, after all, in the Late Demon Stage with considerable strength. Keeping him was useful even if it was just for reconnaissance. If Lin Chen needed to go deeper into the demon territory, he could also help with cover-ups.

Since the contract was signed, Lin Chen released the prohibition on the Primordial Spirit, and his Primordial Spirit flew back into Xiang Sheng’s body.

Lin Chen’s gaze turned to Qin Hao, who was beside him. Qin Hao begged desperately: "He is a Great Demon, and I am only a Transforming God. If I didn’t agree to surrender, I would have died immediately. I had no choice..."

Lin Chen walked up to Qin Hao, his expression calm: "Perhaps your surrender to the demon race was really out of helplessness, but your murder of the Qi brothers—no one forced you to do that, right?"

Qin Hao suddenly panicked, after all, no matter how he twisted this, it was impossible to find a reason.

"It was just a moment of greed... Your Majesty, spare my life, and I will do anything you ask..."

Lin Chen indifferently shook his head: "I promised to give Qi Hengchuan justice. You must die."
